IMHO the ZF tune is being way over hyped and clearly some tuners are capitalising on this. For the money you pay, in most cases $500+, I can't say it's the best value for money. Don't get me wrong, the firmer shifts are great but definitely not worth the issues that the new X3 firmware updates have caused with flashing (error 1034, several flash attempts etc). My tuner told me "Just don't change the tune"; yeah awesome, I now have an $800 paper weight all because SCT's R&D is substandard, not to mention the now defunct X2. SCT has questionable consumer ethics.

We aren't talking about a toaster here. It's a $60k+ vehicle that one would expect would be backed with a decent warranty and after sales service and support. To simply suggest that he rolls over on pursing Ford for what appears to be a significant fault impacting potentially 100's of other customers is completely absurd, even if it's a few months out of warranty.

Thanks guys. Won't be getting another XR6t or F6 at this stage. Hopefully should hear back from the insurers tomorrow or Friday. Can you believe the tow tuck drivers were posing for photos whilst winching the car onto the flatbed?

Unfortunately this is what happened at our place last Wednesday in Brisbane (Bardon). I was in Thailand (Anyone watch A Current Affair tonight?? ) at the time, so it wasn't a very good day yesterday seeing it for the first time. You can see how high the water was by the "high tide" mark on the fence. The car was towed today to be assessed. Not sure what to buy next, though I can guarantee that it won't be near as quick. Such a shame to see the car in this condition. My girlfriends car was written off also (2006 Expensive Daewoo Astra). The car was fully insured, though was worth much more to me then what they'll offer me. Hope no one else from here was hit....
